"The 13 grape varieties of Châteauneuf!"
"On the first nose, the notes of vanilla and baking spices in this 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Privilège blend with notes of red plums and black olives. Aged in 30% new oak barrels, the wine is full-bodied and supple, with a creamy texture and a velvety finish. Drink now and for at least another 5 to 7 years." (Wine Advocate) Delivery in wooden cases for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding delivery to pick-up points).

Rated estate (2020 guide) 3 stars (High-quality production, serving as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The partnership between the owner family and Maison Lavau provides the means to fully exploit this terroir near Mont-Redon. All of the wines are well-made, although the latest vintages have been aged quite heavily.

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
An estate with ancient origins—the Romans established a legion here, and the Princes of Orange their archivist—acquired by Guy Arnaud in 1995. His daughter Bénédicte and her husband Charles Bonnet, who moved here in 2009, have begun the conversion of the 45 hectares of vines to organic farming.

Wine Enthusiast
Wine rated (2021 guide) 92/100
About wine:
Aged for 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, this Grenache-dominant blend (accentuated by smaller proportions of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault) presents concentrated aromas of blackberry jam and dried plum. Voluminous yet freshly balanced, the velvety flavors of black fruit are tempered by earthy notes of granite, dried sage, and Arctic char. Ready now.
James Suckling
Wine rated (2020 guide) 93/100
About wine:
The aromas and flavors of sweet berries and meat show both balance and intensity. It is not exaggerated. Full-bodied, yet fresh with multi-layered tannins. Earthy and dried fruit aromas come through on the finish.
